we got a buy-in from across the philosophical spectrum for a mere $14 million commission where we could receive the advice of the experts in this country on an issue we have not received their advice on since the 1960's. one of the great disappointments of my time here has been the fact that that simple, sensible piece of legislation was filibustered. we got 57 votes on it. for some reason people on the other side of the aisle decided that this shouldn't happen. we did get 4 votes from the other side of the aisle. and even the national review, which is one of the most conservative magazines in the country, said that filibustering this piece of legislation was -- quote -- "insane." mr. president, i ask unanimous consent to have entered in the record at this time the sponsors of that legislation. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. webb: for the historical record. we've had a lot of discussion in the last six years about the so-called pivot to asia. i will say as someone who spent a great deal of his time in and out of east asia that this pivot was heavily influenced by the acti
